Bali Essential Entry Requirements for 2026

Bali – Traveling to the “Island of the Gods” from the “Lion City” is a quick and popular getaway. As of 2026, the entry process for Singaporeans has become more digitized to ensure a smoother flow at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport.

Here is a comprehensive guide to the current entry requirements for Singaporean citizens traveling to Bali.

1. Passport Validity

Your Singapore passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Indonesia. Immigration is very strict about this; if your passport expires in less than 6 months, you may be denied boarding at Changi Airport.

2. The “All Indonesia” Digital Arrival Card

As of late 2025, Indonesia has unified its entry forms into a single digital platform. Travelers are now required to complete the Electronic Arrival Card (e-CD) via the official All Indonesia website or mobile app.

When to fill: No earlier than 72 hours before arrival.
What it covers: Immigration info, Health Declaration, and Customs Declaration.
Tip: After submission, you will receive a QR Code. Save this on your phone, as you must scan it to clear customs.

3. Bali Tourist Levy (Tourist Tax)

Bali has implemented a mandatory tourism tax of IDR 150,000 (approximately SGD 12-13) for all international visitors. This fee is used for cultural preservation and environmental protection.

How to pay: It is highly recommended to pay before you fly via the Love Bali website or the Love Bali App.
Proof of payment: You will receive a “Levy Voucher” (QR Code) via email. Keep this handy to scan at checkpoints.

4. Proof of Onward Travel

You may be asked to show proof of a return ticket to Singapore or an onward ticket to another country. A one-way ticket may lead to questioning by immigration officers.

Bali Visa Information for Singaporeans

Singaporean citizens are fortunate to have one of the easiest entry paths into Indonesia thanks to ASEAN agreements.

Do Singaporeans Need a Visa for Bali?

If you are a holder of a Singaporean Passport, you do not need a visa to enter Bali for short-term tourism. Under the ASEAN visa-free agreement, Singaporeans are granted a Visa Exemption (BVK) upon arrival.

Key Rules for Visa-Free Entry:

Purpose: Tourism or social visits only.
Duration: Valid for a maximum of 30 days.
Extension: This entry permit is NOT extendable. You must leave Indonesia by the 30th day.
Cost: Free of charge.

When SHOULD You Get a Visa?

While the 30-day exemption is the standard, some travelers might actually need to pay for a visa depending on their plans:

1. Staying Longer Than 30 Days

If you plan to stay in Bali for more than a month (e.g., 45 days), do not use the visa-free entry. Instead, you should apply for a Visa on Arrival (VoA).

Cost: IDR 500,000 (approx. SGD 43).
Benefit: It is valid for 30 days but can be extended once for another 30 days, giving you a total of 60 days.

2. Digital Nomads or Long-Term Stays

For those looking to stay for 60 to 180 days, you will need a B211A Visit Visa. This must be applied for online before your flight.

New Mandatory Requirements for 2026

Even though you may not need a “visa,” Indonesia has introduced mandatory digital steps that apply to all Singaporeans:

“All Indonesia” Digital Arrival Card: Since late 2025, travelers must complete an electronic arrival card (e-CD) at allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id within 72 hours of departure. This replaces old paper forms for customs and health.
Bali Tourist Levy: All foreign tourists entering Bali must pay a mandatory tax of IDR 150,000 (approx. SGD 13). It is best to pay this via the Love Bali app/website before you arrive to avoid long queues.
Passport Validity: Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date.

Summary of Bali Visa for Singaporeans

Entry Type	Duration	Cost	Extendable?
Visa Exemption	30 Days	Free	No
Visa on Arrival (VoA)	30 Days	IDR 500k (~$43)	Yes (30 more days)
B211A Visa	60-180 Days	Varies	Yes

Note for Singapore Permanent Residents (PRs):

If you are a Singapore PR but hold a passport from a non-ASEAN country (e.g., India or China), you do not qualify for the 30-day free exemption. You will likely need to apply for a Visa on Arrival (VoA) or an e-Visa before traveling.

Visa-Free Entry (Exemption)

Eligibility: Singapore passport holders traveling for tourism purposes.
Stay Duration: Up to 30 days.
Cost: Free.
Extension: NOT extendable. If you enter via the visa-free facility, you must leave the country within 30 days.

Visa on Arrival (VoA) – For Longer Stays

If you plan to stay in Bali for more than 30 days (but less than 60), do not use the visa-free entry. Instead, opt for the Visa on Arrival (VoA).

Cost: IDR 500,000 (approx. SGD 43).
Validity: 30 days, extendable once for an additional 30 days (total 60 days).
How to get it: You can pay at the “VoA” counter upon arrival or apply online via the e-VoA portal before you travel.

Note for Permanent Residents (PRs): If you are a Singapore PR but hold a non-ASEAN passport (e.g., China, India), visa requirements will depend on your nationality. You will likely need to apply for a VoA or a pre-approved visa.

Bali Tourist Levy online payment

To help preserve Bali’s unique culture and natural beauty, the Provincial Government of Bali has implemented a mandatory International Tourist Levy. As of 2026, the process is predominantly digital, and paying online is the most efficient way to ensure a smooth entry at the airport.

What if I forget to pay online?
